The Japanese Type 1 Ho-ni 75mm self-propelled gun consisted of a 75mm gun mounted on a Chi-ha medium tank chassis. It was one of the few Japanese armored vehicles capable of destroying M4 'Sherman' tanks at long range, but there were only a handful in service in 1944. It saw action in the Philippines as part of the Japanese 2nd Armored Division's mechanized artillery regiment, it was there that this particular vehicle was captured by the US Army's 37th Inf. Division near Aritao on 6 April 1945. It now rests in the Aberdeen Proving Ground Ordenance Museum.
